2. Connect the anatomical structure and function of organ systems needs to maintain homeostasis and normal function of the human body.
3. Analyse the function of the control system. Explain the principles of autocrine, paracrine, endocrine and neuroendocrine stimulation.
4. Elucidate different types of muscle actin role, myosin and troponin in skeletal muscle contraction. Conclude the similarities and differences in the function of different types of muscle.
5. Define and connect the function of the respiratory and renal systems. Explain how the kidney and breathing mechanism to regulate the pH of the blood plasma. Distinguish between metabolic and respiratory acidosis and alkalosis.
6. Demonstrate anatomical and physiological principles and processes in the human body.
7. Analyse the foundation principles of interdependence structure and function, and security mechanisms for the preservation of life.
8. Analyse the functions of the digestive system and linked to basic consumption disorders predict the consequences of the impaired biometric parameters and metabolic rate.
9. Analyse the functions of the human body and apply the acquired knowledge with the aim of responsible behaviour towards their own health and the health of other people.
10. Apply scientific facts in preparation tasks for students to teaching biology of man.
